That's bullshit! You care about Brilith a lot, and she did all of that crazy stuff, and she's angry and hurting! If you were fine, I'd say you'd be just about the biggest asshole I've ever met!
She's so unhappy that she wants to die. And in a place like this, she might get what she's asking for. I just can't understand - why you aren't fighting tooth and nail for her? Why have you kept staying away from her this whole time?
... As long as she feels that way, anything I could say or do would only make it worse. If she's to hold on instead, it needs to come from someone else.
[brilith might hate most people now, but really, it's closer to resentment born from a deeply unhappy heart than anything personal. agni knows she still cares, in her own way.
how she feels about agni, on the other hand, is an entirely different story.]
It's because I want her to choose life that I'm staying away. Seeing me is more likely to provoke her into doing something drastic.
he looks hesitant, because a lot of this gets into very personal territory, but—brilith's happiness has always been what he's hoped for, and maybe in this world, he can finally count on someone else besides himself to act for it.]
Brilith can die. She has, many times, over the course of all these years. Because she cannot enter Paradise but hasn't sinned enough to be sent to Hell either, her soul is left to be reborn. It's normal for humans, though she's a special case with regards to her memories... but that's a different story.
[it's. complicated.]
For her, the only way to truly free her is for her soul to be completely wiped from the universe. [...] However, she and I once... made a divine vow that protects her soul from any attempts.
[and a lot of people! sure have tried!]
... There are only a few ways to break that vow. The simplest would be to ask the God of Death to annul it, so she's not wrong when she says it's up to me to let her go.
But you won't let her go because you don't want her to be wiped out of the universe?
[Hmm. Hard to compute. He wants him to respect Brilith's feelings, but he also understands not wanting something like that to happen to someone you love.]
For the same reasons any soul can't—she failed to live up to the conditions necessary to be granted entry. It's pretty common, as Paradise is meant to be the ultimate reward, not the standard.

Hm... might have to deal with these, too...
